Including this very platform.

Lemmy will automatically render a double dash -- as an en dash, and a triple dash


as an em dash.

I usually just type alt + 0151, though, because I'm a nerd.

You only get a horizontal line when you have the three dashes sit alone on a line


But when you use it inline---then it should render as an emdash or--an endash
